Chapter 192 An Accident
Tyler could not refute Jean’s words. The guests who were standing nearby noticed the rowdiness, so they approached Tyler and Jean to watch. “I see. So you made my sister cry with that sharp tongue of yours, eh?” Tyler gritted his teeth angrily.
But he could not do anything to Jean as long as she was in the Knox family villa. Jean glanced at him indifferently and read his thoughts. “You must be thinking that I cannot hide in the Knox family villa forever, and that you will teach me a lesson as soon as I step out of this place. Am I right?”
Tyler froze. He did not speak. Jean blatantly ignored him and turned around. She spoke cockily. “Then I shall enjoy myself before I leave.” “Young master, why don’t we leave?” Tyler’s subordinate, who was standing behind, advised in a low voice.
Tyler was obviously not capable of fighting Jean, based on her words just now. Moreover, recently, rumors had spread that Jean was not only close to the Ludwig family, she and Edgar were…
“Why should I be afraid of her? She is just someone nobody wants. What can she do to me? I shall teach her a lesson today.” Tyler loosened his tie. “I will make her pay once and for all. If this woman goes down, they will reopen the tender for the Royden Group project. It will be throwing a stone at two birds.”
He advanced into the banquet hall after Jean.
He began to look for Jean as soon as he entered the banquet hall. But Jean was either busy exchanging name cards with the guests or wandering nearby Mrs. Knox.
She looked relaxed. She seemed to be enjoying the banquet.
Tyler was frustrated but there was nothing he could do.
He picked up a wine glass gloomily and finished it.
At this moment, Edgar and Nathan walked down the stairs with Mrs. Knox.
“Tyler Sans is really rude.” Nathan frowned in dissatisfaction.
Nathan was a kind person. He seldom had conflicts with others.
But the Sans siblings were too troublesome. He could not help but feel disgusted by them.
The man on his right was quiet. He had his gaze fixed on Jean, who was mingling around the guests and exchanging name cards with them. There was a glint of a smile in his eyes.
She was indeed smart in taking opportunities.
The next second, Edgar saw the Ludwig family chatting with Mrs. Knox and his face darkened immediately.
Because Jean was with Ben Ludwig!
When Ally accused Jean of being the third person in their relationship earlier on, the Ludwig family had remained silent.
Knowing what they were planning, he sneered.
Ben Ludwig apologized to Jean in a low voice, “Earlier on…”
Jean arranged the name cards she had gathered just now. Those name cards were important for Eyer Group’s future endeavors. She hummed without even raising her head to look at Ben. “It’s alright.”
Ben looked guilty. “I’ll need to apologize to you properly when the banquet is over.”
He reached out to grab Jean’s arm, but she dodged it.
Ben panicked.
“You must be going over to wish Mrs. Knox happy birthday, I won’t go with you. Thank you for tonight; I gained a lot of contacts.”
Jean smiled mysteriously as she spoke.
But this response made Ben’s heart ache. Was she angry?
“I can explain, Jean.”
“I understand. Your parents don’t want to ruin your family’s relationship with the Sans family. But it’s none of my business.” Jean had long wanted to say this.
But she hadn’t because she did not want to hurt Ben.
Ben frowned. He did not move for a long time.
Myer Ludwig was already chatting with Mrs. Knox. Farra Emilio quickly came over and pulled them over. “What are you waiting for? Go say hello and chat for a bit.”
Jean took half a step back instinctively. “Excuse me. I need to use the washroom.”
She turned around and walked past the guests hastily.
“Jean!”
Ben could not stop her. His frown tightened.
